NetBeans are able to offer properties of anonymous object defined in an array. See the picture with the controller definition, where an array of allgifts is defined as array of anonymous objects. NetBeans offers in code completion the properties of these anonymous objects if there are needed.
- Generally improved GoTo Declaration functionality for Angular support.

NetBeans understand the code, when someone develops jQuery widget or plugin based on boilerplate.

When invoke Collapse All in project tab, node's children are also collapsed.
issue 219084
Debuggers
JavaScript in Nashorn
Debugging of JavaScript code executed in Nashorn (JDK 8+) script engine is supported. In a Java project, that is set up with JDK 8 or newer, it's possible to step in from Java code into JavaScript executed by the script engine. Breakpoints in JavaScript files are possible, step into/over/out work as expected, call stack show JavaScript stack frames and Variables window show JavaScript variables.
- Editor when debugging a JavaScript file.
- Call stack in Debugging window when debugging JavaScript files.
- Variables window when debugger is stopped in a JavaScript file.
- Debugging of an evaluated script.
On any JavaScript file there's Run File/Debug File action, that runs/debugs the file in Nashorn script engine when JDK 8 or newer is registered in NetBeans.
Unit Testing
- Allow running JUnit/TestNG tests on a arbitrary selected group of folders or files Issue 124313

- Added support for ABORTED tests in the Test Results window Issue 235443
- Added support for creating Junit integration tests Issue 237412
Versioning
Subversion
Support for 1.8 working copies
With bundled SVNKit and JavaHL in 1.8 versions it is not needed to switch to a commandline client to work with 1.8 working copies.
Git
Tree view in the Diff panel
You can switch between the flat table and the tree view with the two toggle buttons in the toolbar.
Simpler clone wizard
Issue 235506 RFE
You don't have to go through all three clone wizard's panels. If you fill the destination folder directly on the first panel and click on Finish, the action will work much like the git clone with a commandline client and it will use default values for remote and checkout branch.
Transparent work with Git submodules
Working with submodules should be much easier. You can now commit a submodule's state directly from the IDE, submodules will be automatically (if you accept it of course) initialized and updated after a clone. When pushing the parent repository the IDE will check if all submodule's changes will have been committed and warn you before reaching an inconsistent state in the remote repository. Issue 207067 Issue 237621
Branch filter in the Search History view
Issue 235882 RFE
Review of commits after pull/fetch/push
After pulling/fetching/pushing links to the summary view/diff view are added output window Issue 229808
Other improvements
- update to JGit 3.x Issue 230572
- ability to change branch tracking Issue 230991
- in the Git Repository Browser you can select a local branch and call Setup Tracked Branch from the popup menu to set the branch tracking for this local branch
- or via context menu "Git|Branch/Tag|Set Tracked Branch..."
- improved push to upstream work-flow - when a git push would result in a non fast-forward merge (the remote repository contains unmerged commits), you are warned and offered the option to pull the changes into the current local branch and eventually do the push again automatically.
Issue 238398 - added a new action "Commit Project..." Issue 235887
- after cloning NetBeans offers to add the cloned repository to the favorites view Issue 235507
Bugtracking
Tasks window
In NetBeans 8.0 there are several new features in Tasks window:
- Task Schedule - user can define his own schedule for tasks in Tasks window
- Schedule Categories - there are three predefined categories to notify user about his scheduled task for "Today", "This Week" and all schedule tasks.
- Notification bubble - tasks scheduled for "Today" are most important for a user, so there is a notification created to remind a user about them
- Task Icon badges - task icon is used to show task's priority and scheduling
- Sorting - user can now define his own sorting for tasks in Tasks window
Task Editor Changes
To be more user-friendly task editors where split into logical sections, all action buttons were moved to one place. A new section My Private Task Details was added where you can specify task's private data (such as private notes and schedule parameters) never to be send to the task's repository, used mainly for user's private needs.
Local Tasks Repository
We added a simple local task repository. You can create, update and delete simple tasks kept on your local machine, manage references to other tasks (even from other repositories), manage attachments for the task and even set its schedule parameters - Issue 236111.
